  1. Paul Wesley

    RIP John Sykes

    Never knew his name... but it's crazy to have that many memorable guitar hooks in one track. The intro, the fills, the clean parts in the middle... brilliant stuff.
  2. Yeah, that was one of them I was thinking of. It was pretty flagrant PI.
  3. I can't remember which NBA coach was complaining about Pat Riley's teams - I think this was when Riley was in Miami - but he said something to the effect of, "I think he (Riley) is a genius. You just foul the other team on absolutely every play, and the refs just aren't going to call them all." That seems to apply to the Ohio State pass defense. In our game, they got flagged several times - including on back-to-back plays in the 4th quarter - but there were a bunch more that could have (should have) been called. Tonight the Ohio State DBs are wrapping up Notre Dame's receivers on just about every drop back pass.

  5. This. Perfectly analogous to Simms in 99. The top QB in the country - who could have gone ANYWHERE - joins a UT that had been floundering and underperforming, and makes it a LOT easier for Texas to recruit five-star guys on both sides of the ball. The monster roster that went 25-1 over 04 and 05 might not have been assembled without that (unlikely) first domino. Hopefully the analogy continues with a Texas MNC here in the next couple years.
  6. Today I learned who Nate Smith is, and also that he sucks.
  7. "Gee, our old Lasalle ran great." I lived my whole life (until today) without knowing what they sang there.
  8. I'm probably in the minority here, but: 1). Really not interested in Arkansas as a permanent rivalry game. IDGAF about how big the game was 50 years ago. TCU was also a big rivalry at times in our history. Totally not excited to play the pigs every year (though they would absolutely love it) 2). I'm as big a fan of college football as you'll meet, but we've already reached a point where we keep adding games that mean less to your ultimate season results, and asking kids to risk serious injury up to 17 times. Texas has been fairly healthy this year, but we're seeing some cumulative injuries to guys like Bond (who is a shadow of the threat he was back in September). We just saw Georgia lose at least two starters for the season in what was a fairly inconsequential game as it relates to a MNC (yes, winning your conference counts for something). 9 SEC games + conference championship + 4 playoff games... I think 17 games for 20-year old kids is pushing it. One partial fix is to keep an 8-game SEC schedule but punish teams in the tiebreakers who play Lamar or Texas State for their OOC. I understand our conference mates would vote that down by a wide margin, but it would arguably be good for college football as a whole by making for more Texas v Michigan as opposed to Bama v Mercer.
  9. Calm and detached pregame Dvoracek: "Texas is a great program with amazing players and a great tradition." 4th-Quarter, one-score-game Dusty: "OH MY GOD THAT SHOULD BE A PENALTY ON TEXAS!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!! FUCK THIS FUCKING PROGRAM!!!"
  10. Funny how Herbie calls out all the borderline holds on one team...
